Coming off of their bye week just four weeks ago, the Bengals were a solid 5-3 on the season. When they returned to the field, they accidentally took part in No-Win November. Oops.
This is usually when good teams look like they are firing on all cylinders getting ready for that playoff run. The Bengals, on the other hand, are limping towards the end of a lost season.
Cincinnati spent the last month getting run off their home field by the Saints and the Browns of all teams with a divisional loss on the road sandwiched between the two games.
